Is this okay to use in an acrylic tank?

Yes it is. I used mine in a 2 gallon acrylic tank for a Betta , and it worked fine. I recommend checking the heater periodically to make sure it's working properly.

Yes, definitely. It really doesn't get hot, just stays warm. I use it in a 1 gallon acrylic tank.

The Top is designed to fit into the top frame of a 30 gallon ex tank, (and other like sized top framed tanks). I think the frameless acrylic tanks would need a different top cover.

I don't know. It's probably best to contact Tetra. I don't really know the difference in a reptile tank and a fish tank. My guess in that it isn't a good idea, since it wasn't designed for fish the tank may not be able to hold up to the pressure of the water. The glass may not be the same standard as fish tanks, the sealant may not be strong enough either.

It would probably work well for insulation. I would just worry about the weight of the aquarium.

I used it on different plastics most are safe, some are not. It is not safe on polystyrene including transparent one, I tried. Acrylic was ok, if I remember right.I love this stuff and use it extensively for different cleaning needs, not just adhesive. For example removing shoe rubber scuff marks from walls and car panels.

I don't see why it couldn't be used on acrylic. It has a faux suede type backing. I have mine on a painted wood surface so I couldn't say for sure about the acrylic, but I think it would be fine. Sorry I can't be more definite

I have a small acrylic tank as well and I've left the heater on overnight and for several days and it didn't affect the tank. The only thing you have to watch is it does cause the water to evaporate faster.

Yes you can, I use acrylics all the time for painting models and other things =) I just thin them with water *depending on brand* to get the right consistency so paint will flow out with out spattering.

I've had this heater in an acrylic tank for about 6 months with no problems; it was in a glass tank before and it's performance is the same: reliable and easy to set/read. The enclosed manual does no have any cautions regarding acrylic. I own 4 aquarium heaters, all excellent, but this one is my favorite by far.

The bottle does not specifically address your question, it just says 'safe for ALL aquarium inhabitants. You may do well to contact the mfr at Hagen.com.

I noticed very little heat generated even though the led light is nearly touching my acrylic tank's top. But if u have glass tanks or set a bigger gap in between, I think it shouldn't be a problem leaving on 24/7. Also read the manual for safety tips.

If your tank is glass and it fits ok you are good, but if it is acrylic you should exchange it for correct wattage . I exchanged mine for correct wattage and size , and I am very Happy, these are great heaters .

Yes, apply carefully because it lightly melts and discolors the surface of acrylic.

Yes you can! I am using it in my 5.5 gallon tank, and many others use it as well. You'll want to get around 1 pound per gallon to have the right depth for your tank.

It is plastic/styrene, not acrylic. It is very clear when new, but extremely soft and easily scratched so great care is required to avoid dulling the plastic. I have found using foam "paintbrushes" (found in any hardware store/dept) to gently wipe the sides works well for algae removal if needed. It's a nice little tank for the money, if you treat it gently it should remain clear.

Yes, I think it would. You would have to watch your speed because it might cause the acrylic to melt along the edges.

yes, I paint in acrylics and it works very well. I also found putting glass in the bottom helps.
